I think that's the wrong question.  I suppose Andreas's point is that
when the programmer doesn't provide a definition, there is no such
thing as a "sensible definition" to default to.  I disagree, but given
that as the point of discussion, asking what the definition is, is moot.

Nitpick: Except that it's the preferred way to express identity with
singletons, AFAIK.  ("if x is None: ...", not "if x == None: ...".)
